The 6th, and final, #HAHD Marathon Challenge comes to a close today, April 19th at 11:59PM CT-US.

To complete the Challenge, you must have successfully submitted 100 high-quality, original articles of 400 words or more during the 100 days of the Challenge. If you’ve signed up for this writing marathon, you can check out how close you are to the 100 article mark and any other goals you set for yourself with the #HAHD 6 progress bars in the Author’s Area of your account.

Remember, articles are judged for qualification by the submission date, not the date of publication. We will begin sending prizes once all submitted qualifying articles have been approved and published.

Added Bonus: The top 100 members for total number of approved submissions will also qualify to be selected for 1 of 10 FREE 1-year EzineArticles Premium Membership subscriptions valued at $697 each!

Participating in #HAHD 6 is just one way you can set personal goals and stay motivated to write great articles. Submitting more high-quality articles means more high-quality traffic driven to your links.

You can stay connected to everything related to the Challenge and keep others notified of your progress as we come down to the end with the #HAHD hashtag on Twitter.

Leave a comment to share your experiences of this #HAHD, past Challenges and how they helped you stay motivated.

Grrr… OK, I’ve subscribed to the blog and emails from EzineArticles so that the next HAHD that rolls around (May I believe?) I can actually start the contest on time!

I started 30 days late and try as I might, it seemed that there were always emergencies cropping up that kept me away from my keyboard so that I could catch up for those lost days.

At midnight tonight, I had submitted 79 articles out of the 100. I had decided that even though I didn’t think it was possible to complete the challenge, I was going to do my own personal best. I feel that I did, and for that, I’m happy.

Congratulations to those who completed the challenge. And to those who didn’t, I applaud you for giving it your best shot!

I cannot express how absolutely amazing it has been to participate in all 6 of the #HAHD challenges. I had fun, I learned a lot and I met some fantastic people along the way. I’m sad it’s over but I look forward to more challenges/events in the future. Thanks EzineArticles!

Ajeet – We’ll publish that number soon. Based on past experience, I can say that you will most assuredly be in the Top 100 with 300 articles. Nice job and congratulations!

You are correct, #HAHD is now only a memory, but we do intend to launch other new and different article writing challenges in the future. Keep your eye on this Blog for more information in the coming months.

Allow me to congratulate first to each and every individual who delivered the best of their unique writing skills for this efferent challenge of articles marathon.

A grand challenge has become an event of past and it’s hard to believe that this was the last. I have the lifetime opportunity to meet the best of the writers and it was a joyful learning experience all the way through. I cannot forget the toughest moments towards the end hours.

EzineArticles has been pioneers of high quality original contents and appreciation from this platform is tough to ignore. This is the forum which offer moral boost for brainstorming for any writer.
This is a matter of celebration for those who passed this marathon and really a bit of hard luck for those who could not succeed. Over all my experience here was full of fun and challenging excitement. I will be looking forward to more such options and am sure such thing will keep on coming. (Although we all know it might ever come!!)

I think that 1000 articles over a year is a big much. I really like the 100/100 formula.

Another thought though… Actually, I fondly remember the turbo challenge around Christmas time in 2009 or so, where we had to complete 30 articles in something like 15 or 20 days. It was very focused, and really fun.

OR…

I would feel greatly inspired to finish a larger number of articles IF the chances of getting a free premium membership, maybe for 3 months would go to a larger number of participants.

Looking forward to when those cards with article templates will appear in the store.

I definitely like the focus of a competition. It keeps me motivated. I’ve only taken part in the last 3 #HAHD’s, wasn’t even writing articles before. I managed to complete my first 2 #HAHD’s and this last time managed to do 200 articles.

I know it’s because of the #HAHD that I stayed on track, otherwise I’d have run out of steam.

So thank you, EzineArticles. It’s been amazing and I’ve loved every minute of it.

I’d like to make a suggestion. Can you keep the “goals” box in our author dashboard and allow us to create our own monthly goals, like we did with the personal goal for HAHD? Then our progress bar will grow throughout the month as we complete the number that is fitting to each of us. It’s not exactly the same as a challenge and doesn’t have prizes but it seems to be an easy feature since it’s already basically implemented and I know many people, myself included, would enjoy that extra motivation.

We’ve just completed the review process of all articles submitted during the challenge – we need to make sure they all qualify. Prizes will start shipping today and should be received in the next week or two in the U.S. … International packages, on the other hand, should start arriving in about 3 weeks depending on the recipients location.
